End of Aeon

With cleverly constructed harmonies and acoustic soundscapes, End of Aeon's powerful sound draws influences primarily from melodic rock/heavy metal and acoustic music. Featuring ex-Anjeliina (2007 MUSICOZ winners), Reflection Point and Transcending Mortality members. They each bring years of songwriting and performing experience, having shared the stages with -Evergrey (Sweden), Sodom (Germany), Lord, Sunk Loto, Eyefear, Black Majesty, Ink, Daysend, Sydonia and many more. After 8 long years spent developing their own style, founding members Danni and Mike have finally found the line up and sound they originally envisioned. Lead singer Eliza's dynamic and captivating voice combined with a rare 3 guitar line up and tight rhythm section, make End of Aeon's music different and exciting. The debut show/EP launch happened on 30th of May, 2009 to a 300+ audience at The Gaelic Theatre in Sydney. Keep a lookout for future shows and make sure to grab a copy of the EP!

A musical mix metal, jazz, techno, salsa, swing, and circus music their style is very unique. Although they have been compared to such bands like Mr. Bungle and Dog Fashion Disco, their music is their own and the bands energy will fuel this band into the future for many years.

James Stafford from Rave Magazine described the band as"Like a dirty bomb in Disneyland, [Headkase] have the potential to cause panic." From what has been shown from the band so far, they are just about to go Nucular!
